Terrain

Vertical and horizontal dimension and shape of land surface

Terrain or relief (also topographical relief ) involves the vertical and horizontal dimensions of land surface. The term bathymetry is used to describe underwater relief, while hypsometry studies terrain relative to sea level. The Latin word terra (the root of terrain ) means "earth."

In physical geography, terrain is the lay of the land. This is usually expressed in terms of the elevation, slope, and orientation of terrain features. Terrain affects surface water flow and distribution. Over a large area, it can affect weather and climate patterns.

2020
To build commercial robots, skid-steering mechanical design is of increased popularity due to its manufacturing simplicity and unique mechanism. However, these also cause significant challenges on software and algorithm design, especially for pose estimation (i.e., determining the robot's rotation and position), which is the prerequisite of autonomous navigation. While the general localization algorithms have been extensively studied in research communities, there are still fundamental problems that need to be res…
